French M1886/93/16/35 Lebel Bayonet. Description Cruciform shortened spike blade, steel hilt with muzzle ring, brass grip, tubular steel scabbard. Brown leather frog, outer side painted black. Blade 33.5cm (13Â¼ inches) in length, the bayonet 45.5cm (~18 inches) overall. The hilt is stamped with a serial number which is beneath paint, making it only partly legible. The blade has an inspection mark &#acute;T&#acute; to the forte. The 1886/93/16 bayonet pattern fitted to the M1886 Lebel and M1907 Berthier rifles used by the French Army during WW1, and was the third version of the M1886 (which was revised in 1893 and 1916). This version had a simplified flat locking button and was manufactured without the quillon found on earlier types. The brass handle was another expediency measure to increase production “ German silver (cupro-nickel-zinc alloy) was the original material. In 1935 many of the various types of Lebel bayonets in the French arsenals had their blades shortened to 13Â¼ inches by removing the slender tip and repointing. The shorter blades were considered less prone to breakage, and perhaps with the decline of the bayonet in warfare additional reach was less important than ease of carry. The scabbards were also modified to match “ this one has been cut down to size by removing the lower section, with the chape end (with drainage hole) then reattached by brazing. The blade has some spots of patination, particularly towards the reshaped tip. The scabbard has a few small dents and some losses to the black gloss paint, revealing patinated steel. The hilt has the same black paint, in the same condition. The brass grip has tiny dents. The leather frog is flexible, with all if its stitching intact. There is one small tear to the edge of the leather on the rear side belt loop, not enough to threaten its integrity. Some surface cracking to the unpainted rear side, and rubbing of the paint in high-wear areas on the front side, revealing the brown leather.

British WW1 1913 Pattern Bayonet, Dated 9/1916 by Remington. Description Unfullered spear pointed blade, wood scale grips with two brass rivets. Steel pommel and hilt with short quillon and muzzle ring. Brown leather scabbard with steel throat and chape. Blade 11.97 inches in length (304mm), the bayonet 16.69 inches overall (424mm). This bayonet is a little unusual in that it is completely unmarked with no reference to its maker or any government service. Its muzzle ring has been bushed to around 14.7mm in diameter (the standard for the 1888 Pattern being 16.5mm). Both the bayonet and its scabbard seem to be subtly non-standard, a good but not 100% correct rendition of the Pattern. Putting these factors together this might be the &#acute;India Pattern&#acute; version of the 1888 bayonet - approved in 1904, this version&#acute;s modification &#acute;consisted merely of bushing the muzzle ring to suit the smaller diameter of the Lee-Enfield cavalry carbine barrel, which would make the MRD of the bayonet about 14.7mm&#acute; (see British & Commonwealth Bayonets by Skennerton & Richardson p342, or British Commonwealth Bayonets and Fighting Knives by Skennerton & Labudda p370). If the bayonet was actually produced in India that might explain its non-standard construction. As shown in Skennerton some rough copies of the 1888 Pattern were made for State Forces in India which were distinctly cruder than the official version “ this example is better-made and closer in form to the Pattern than those. Alternatively this might be one of the &#acute;trade&#acute; or &#acute;commercial&#acute; 1888 bayonets, which were not made as part of any government contract and were instead sold to Volunteer units or private buyers by firms including Wilkinson and Greener. These generally bear no government markings, although not even bearing a maker&#acute;s mark is unusual. Some trade bayonets were even assembled from surplus parts, bought up after the end of the official production by Greener. Spare-parts bayonets can show unusual features including having clearance holes on both the pommel and the grips (Mk I grips having been paired with a Mk II or III pommel) or, like this example, no clearance holes at all. The blade is bright with only some tiny spots of very light patination. It is unsharpened with no edge damage. The hilt, exposed tang and pommel have a dark even patina. The wood grips have only a couple of tiny shallow dents and little handling wear, their finish generally lustrous with visible grain. The throat and chape pieces of the scabbard are deeply blued with only small spots of wear to the finish. The chape piece of the scabbard is essentially a tube, open at the bottom “ this may have been deliberate to allow drainage or there may have been a small end plate that has been lost. The leather of the scabbard has some light creasing from bending and a few small spots of rubbing, but is generally good and flexible, with its stitching all intact.

British Lee Enfield 1907 Pattern Bayonet by Sanderson, 1918. Description Straight single-fullered knife blade, steel hilt with muzzle ring, wood slab grips secured by two screws, steel beaked pommel with oil hole and locking button. Black leather scabbard with steel locket & circular frog stud and steel chape piece. Brown leather frog of South African type, possibly a later addition. The ricasso is stamped on one side with a crown over &#acute;GR&#acute;, 1907 (the pattern) &#acute;8 18&#acute;, indicating the manufacture date of August 1918, and the manufacturer&#acute;s mark &#acute;Sanderson&#acute;. On the other side it is stamped with a &#acute;broad arrow&#acute; War Department stores mark, three crown inspection marks with &#acute;E&#acute; indicating the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield, and an &#acute;X&#acute; indicating that it passed a manufacturer&#acute;s bending test. The pommel is stamped with &#acute;C&#acute; over &#acute;C H&#acute; over &#acute;886&#acute;. The &#acute;CH&#acute; part might indicate the Cheshire Regiment. The chape piece of the scabbard is stamped next to the staple with M/44, which was the manufacture during WW2 for J. B. Brooks & Co. Ltd of Birmingham. The scabbard may therefore be a later replacement for the WW1 era bayonet. The front side of the frog is stamped with a crown and broad arrow. The rear side of the frog is stamped with a letter &#acute;U&#acute; within which is a letter &#acute;M&#acute;, which is a South African government ownership stamp. The blade is blued with no edge damage, light rubbing on its raised edges to reveal bright steel. A more heavily blued band remains at the ricasso. Some small dents to the wood grips and chipping next to their screws. Traces of olive green paint are visible on recessed areas of the hilt, grips and pommel, suggesting old camouflage which has since mostly worn away to reveal the original steel with its blued finish. The scabbard fittings have some light scratching, numerous tiny dents to the chape piece as well as some small patches of dark patination on the reverse side. The leather of the scabbard has some surface rubbing and dents, some patches of abrasion at its edges. All of its stitching is intact.

Swiss M1918 Schmidt Rubin Bayonet by Elsener (Victorinox). Description Double-edged spear-pointed blade, wood slab grips secured by two steel rivets to the exposed tang, crossbar hilt with muzzle ring and lower lobe quillon, steel scabbard with frog hook and leather frog strap, leather frog with buckle. The ricasso of the blade is stamped on one side with &#acute;ELSENER SCHWYZ&#acute;. Karl Elsener was a Swiss knifemaker who opened his own factory in the village of Ibach in the Swiss canton of Schwyz in 1884 making knives and surgical instruments, including military contracts. He invented the Swiss Army Knife in 1891 and later renamed the company Victorinox, which still makes knives in Isbach to this day, run by his great-grandson. The old name indicates that this is a pre-1950 example. The hilt is stamped on one side with the serial number &#acute;55659&#acute;. Its lobe quillon is stamped on the blade side with a small Swiss cross and a circle. The rear side of the leather frog is stamped with several marks faint from rubbing, including a square cartouche (which would have contained a letter but this is too faint to make out), the maker&#acute;s mark &#acute;____BUHE REINACH / BASEL&#acute; - this would have been a saddlery/leatherwork firm contracted to produce the frog, based in the town of Reinach in the canton of Basel at the northern edge of Switzerland - and &#acute;44&#acute;, probably an item number. This bayonet fits the M1911 (K11) and M1931 (K31) rifles and the M41, M43, M41/44 and M43/44 submachine guns. Some tiny spots of patination to the blade, no edge damage, track marks from sheathing and drawing. Likewise some spots of light patination to the hilt, tang and pommel. The wood grips have a few very light dents. The blued finish of the scabbard has worn in places exposing bright steel, particularly where it rubs against the frog, that section not visible without disassembly.

Australian L1A2 Bayonet for the SLR. Description Straight single fullered blade with clipped Bowie point. Steel hilt with muzzle ring, sheet steel slab grips secured by two rivets around concealed tang. Steel pommel with locking button, steel scabbard with domed circular frog stud. The L1A2 bayonet was developed in Britain for the SLR rifle (the Commonwealth version of the Belgian FAL) in parallel with the L1A1 bayonet. The A1 and A2 were effectively just alternate versions, with the only difference being the means of attaching the pommel. Both designs were approved on the same date in 1957 and Britain chose to produce the L1A1 while Australia and Canada adopted the L1A2. The Canadian version, which they referred to as the C1, can be distinguished by its various Canadian markings, while the Australian L1A2 bears no markings whatsoever. The Australian bayonets were produced at the Lithgow plant from 1958 to around 1984. Until around 1962 they had squared fullers, this example has the post-1962 rounded fullers instead. All parts of the bayonet have a matt phosphated finish. This has some bright spots of wear on raised edges where steel is exposed. The scabbard has some scratches and areas of patination. Some rust on and around one of the grip rivets.

British / South African Lee Enfield 1907 Pattern Bayonet by Sanderson, 1918. Description Straight single-fullered knife blade, steel hilt with muzzle ring, wood slab grips secured by two screws, steel beaked pommel with oil hole and locking button. Black leather scabbard with steel locket & circular &#acute;bullseye&#acute; frog stud and steel chape piece. Brown leather frog of South African type. The ricasso is stamped on one side with a crown over &#acute;1907&#acute; (the pattern) &#acute;12 &#acute;18&#acute;, indicating the manufacture date of December 1918, and the manufacturer&#acute;s mark &#acute;Sanderson&#acute;. On the other side it is stamped with a &#acute;broad arrow&#acute; War Department stores mark, three crown inspection stamps with &#acute;E&#acute; for Enfield and an &#acute;X&#acute; indicating that it passed a manufacturer&#acute;s bending test. The pommel is stamped next to the locking button with a letter &#acute;U&#acute; enclosing a broad arrow, which is a South African government ownership mark. While it was manufactured in Britain, this bayonet evidently came into South African ownership. The chape piece of the scabbard is stamped next to the staple with &#acute;EB&#acute; within a circle, which is probably a manufacturer mark. The blade has some spots of patination and nicks to its edge. The ricasso, hilt and pommel have some light patination and polishing marks. The wood grips have some dents and chips. The scabbard fittings have a matt blued finish, with only light wear to raised edges revealing bright steel. The scabbard leather has surface rubbing, one dent near the throat piece, a spot of damage to the seam and slight opening of the stitching near the chape piece.

Argentine Type A Knife Bayonet for the FN FAL with Tempex Frog, Falklands War. Description Spear-pointed knife blade with partial false edge. Blade 7Â¾ inches in length, the bayonet 12Â½ inches overall. Steel hilt with muzzle ring and integral flash-hider prongs, ribbed black plastic grip scales held by two screws, exposed tang, steel pommel. Steel scabbard with throat piece and oval frog stud, green nylon canvas frog with retaining strap, plastic belt grip and wire hanger. The bayonet is stamped on the pommel with the serial number &#acute;03697&#acute;. The scabbard body is stamped with the serial number &#acute;41897&#acute;, slightly obscured by paint. The FN FAL infantry rifle and its bayonet were adopted by Argentina in the late 1950s, initially purchased from FN in Belgium but later made domestically by Argentine manufacturers. Several types of bayonet and webbing attachments were used by the Argentinean Army and Marines during the Falklands conflict: the knife model with distinctive flash-hider &#acute;prongs&#acute; on its muzzle ring was the &#acute;Type A&#acute; bayonet, which fitted to the early FALs. Its blade was based upon the US M4. This was used side by side with the tubular &#acute;Type C&#acute; model, which was introduced when a 22mm muzzle device was added to the FAL in 1962. The scabbards are not interchangeable between Types, the blades being of different shapes. Belt frogs for these bayonets are made of either green leather or nylon fabric: the &#acute;Correaje Argentino de Cuero&#acute; (Argentine Leather Belting) load-bearing system was introduced around 1970, but incorporated some preexisting elements including leather frogs and pistol holsters, which were then painted green to match. The nylon &#acute;Correaje Tempex&#acute; (Tempex Belting) was introduced in the early 1980s to replace it which included a new frog. Both forms of load-bearing system were still in use by 1982 so both were carried in the Falklands. Either frog will fit either Type of bayonet. After Argentine forces surrendered to the British on June 14 1982 their small arms were piled up by the thousand in the Islands&#acute; capital Port Stanley, where most Argentine forces had been deployed or driven back to. A large quantity of arms had also been captured earlier at Goose Green, which was a key ammunition dump for the Argentine forces, and still more were gathered later from unengaged Argentine garrisons on the island of West Falkland. The FAL rifles became British government property and were either brought to the UK or dumped at sea, while bayonets and the short machete-like officer&#acute;s sidearms frequently became personal trophies or souvenirs for British soldiers as they would not be illegal to own in civilian life. This example is most likely one such &#acute;bring-back&#acute;. The blade is very sharp with visible grinding marks, some undulation to its true edge which suggests that nicks or chips have been partly sharpened out. The tip has rounded, the sharpening runs right up to it but with no attempt to repoint. Some frosting and small spots of light patination. The hilt and scabbard retain most of their original black paint, especially where the scabbard was protected by its frog, some chipping to the paint on edges and raised areas like the frog stud exposing steel with some rust spots. The pommel and tang have a heavy grey patina. The plastic grips have only light handling wear and one small (7mm) scrape on one side. The frog has some heavy patination to its steel and brass, very minor fray to the nylon at the top corners but no loss of integrity, its buttons work and frog hook moves freely.
